The Ric x Grace babies are growing like weeds!

They turned 9 weeks old yesterday and I’ve narrowed down my selection but will make final selection when I return from Orlando.

There will be a few show prospects males available and a few companions males available. Please reach out with questions.

Where do I even begin? The last 24 hours have been very trying but Grace was able to deliver all 9 babies.

We have 2 b!tches and 7 dogs in a lovely rainbow of colors.

I can’t think everyone enough that was involved in making this breeding happen, answer my IMs, text, and calls all hours of the day, night, and morning over the past 36ish hours

THANK YOU ALL!!

Mom and pups are all doing amazing!

🐻Ti🐻 was SD the first day and BOB the last two days completing his Grand in just a few short weeks of being shown.

🦅 Flyer🦅 Won the breee from the veterans class and went on to win a group 2 over some of the top ranked hounds. That old man can still out move most dogs half his age! Absolutely gives me goosebumps watching him move.

👹 Yeti👹 (oops not pictured) was BOS on day over top specials and SD one day for two majors towards his grand.

👸 Millie👸 was RWB every day to the major behind her breeder/co-owner.

In Gray Summit a few weeks ago Ti was BOS under Mrs. Vicki Abbott over a lovely entry of specials.

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 from us here at SoGrace!

Wow what a wonderful week at AKC National Championship 2022 with Kristin Lawless All Breed Handling, LLC and Lost Heritage Hounds!

So many wonderful memories made with wonderful friends!! And to top it off…

Nina picked up a select on Wednesday in a lovely line up of top bi***es. Then on Friday at the MFDC Specialty in an even larger line up of top bi***es she went select under breeder Judge Mr Jeffrey Langevin.

Nina will return home now (not gonna lie rather choked up now as I just typed that) for a bit and be selectively shown in 2023 lead up to DCA. This will be a hard one to let go and not have as my road buddy.

Now time to head home and directly to work tomorrow.

CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at SoGrace!
